title: [Superior mesenteric lymph nodes in adult humans of different body constitution types].
abstract: The number of superior mesenteric lymph nodes regional for small intestine and its mesentery ranges from 66 to 232 in adults with brachymorphic type of constitution, from 85 to 404 in those with mesomorphic type of constitution and from 105 to 327 in adults with dolichomorphic type of constitution. Average lymph node number equals 159 in subjects with brachymorphic type of constitution and it is 212 and 175 in subjects with dolichomorphic and mesomorphic types of constitution respectively. Dimensions of lymph nodes studied varied from 1 x 1 x 1 to 52 x 10 x 5 mm in adults with brachymorphic type of constitution, from 1 x 1 x 1 to 40 x 8 x 4 mm in those with mesomorphic type of constitution and from 1 x 1 x 1 to 38 x 8 x 4 mm. Average values of node cross dimensions were 7.1, 6.2 and 5.3 mm respectively. Consequently, superior mesenteric lymph nodes are comparatively numerous in adults with dolichomorphic type of constitution, while node dimensions, on the contrary, are highest in adults with brachymorphic type of constitution. Rounded and oval nodes were encountered predominantly in adults with brachymorphic constitution, while segmented and ribbon-like--in people with brachymorphic type of constitution.
